Waterfall Seasons of Australia - The Waterfall Guide

This seasonal guide to waterfalls in Australia recommends the best time of year and the best time of day to visit each waterfall using hydrologic knowledge to get the most out of your visit. At the current time, the guide to waterfalls in Victoria is the most complete, followed by the Northern Territory, New South Wales and Queensland. This website only includes waterfalls that I have personally visited and photographed.

Visit the tropics at the start of dry season (Apr and May) when road access resumes, and then head south to watch the breaking rains in winter bring waterfalls back to life in southern Australia.

If you are planning a visit to Australia from overseas, be mindful of the variable climate. Waterfalls in the southern half of Australia will be flowing at their fiercest in winter/spring (roughly Jul-Nov), but this is also the coldest time of year in this region. Visiting in late spring will see good flow over the waterfalls but without the winter chill. Waterfalls in tropical northern Australia will be flowing at their most ferocious in the wet season (roughly Nov-Apr), but access to many waterfalls at this time is not possible due to flooding or waterlogging of roads. In the first few months of the dry season (i.e. the first half of the May-Oct period) waterfalls will still be flowing but you will also have road access. Late in the dry season, some waterfalls in the tropics dry up.
